82 Oldsmobile Cutlass Build log

Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm a retard and I don't know how to hook up an alternator properly. Apparently I forget to hook up my stock alternator to battery wire which ties in to my regulator and regulates my voltage....so my alternator wasn't seeing a charge and was charging wide open which brought my voltage up and fried one of my Z1's

In other news at the MECA show today at the shop I work at I pulled a 147.6 at 45hz at the headrest on the mic stand. This was with the 2 17's on 1 Z1 wired at 2ohm...so I was probably seeing not even 2500 watts total. I also tried out drive by SPL parade, which I pulled a 116 average playing photoshoot by Gucci mane. Mic 6 feet away from the passenger door, with one window down.

The box held up like a champ with no flex and no movement at all. Hopefully I will be in the mid 150's when I get the other Z1 back from repair and strap them up again at 2 ohm.

I should have video's of both my runs tonight when I get home.

I was running them strapped at 2 ohm putting out crazy power, but then one popped from a voltage spike.

Vids. And remember this is only on ONE z1 at 2 ohms...not NEAR enough power for these things. expect a lot better numbers when I get the other z1 back from repair.

Sending off the z1 tomorrow.
